The above well known and long estab-
lished specialists will be at 81 NORTH
MAIN STREET, Los Angeles, from Sep
tember 10th to the Goth, 10 days only, where
all who are suffering from nervous debility,
chronic or complicated diseases, sperma-
torrhea, impOtency, loss of manhood, pre-
mature decay, and all complaints resulting
from youthful folly, abuse and excesses of
maturity, or badly treated cases of special or
private nature, will be afforded the oppor-
tunity to consult with these celebrated
specialists. Consultation free and private.
The Liebig Dispensary for the treatment of
all chronic, private and complicated dis
eases has been established in San Francisco
for nearly quarter Of a century. The Dis
pensary building occupies the entire corner
of Geary and Mason streets, San Francisco,
and is the only Medical and Surgical Insti-
tute on the Pacific coast that has its own
elegant drug store in dispensary building,
employing registered chemists and scientific
surgical instrument makers to manufacture
all surgical instruments for the patients of
the Liebig Dispensary; also to prepare the
Invigorator. To the marvellous cures and
discoveries made by DR.. Liebig e. Co. are due
all the great successes they have had. In
1881 they discovered the complication Pros
tatOrrhpa, resulting from youthful impru-
dence and excesses of maturity, or unskill-
fully treated cases of a special nature, that
from time immemorial had prevented thou
sands from being cured of nervous debility,
physical weakness and unnatural losses
from the system. DR.. Liebig & Co. use every
successful remedial agent known to modern
scientists favoring the school of Homeopathy
and Eclecticism, taking from the Allopathic
all that is useful, and adapting surgical in
struments to the various ailments and de-
formities, attaching to appliances, magnet
ism and electricity. Successful treatment
guaranteed in all cases or no fees required.
SURGICAL BRANCH.
The doctors will give personal attention to
diseases OF the Chest, Head and Throat, Ca
tarrh, diseases OF the Liver and Kidneys
also deformities requiring surgical applian-
ces. Balance of treatment conducted from
the Liebig Dispensary, San Francisco, Cal.
N.B.-On account of the rapidly increasing
practice in San Francisco, this will be the
doctors last visit to Los Angeles.

Society Women aud theStaye.

The personal display, the conspicu-
BUSINESS, the comments Of the society
reporter, the tameness of domestic
life as contrasted with the glitter and
excitement the stage existence all
tend to vulgarize the nature, and make
pinchbeck seem as good as gold. And
when the public amateur decides to
become the professional she does it
because she is satisfied with her
home, and wants more spending
money and more excitement. Her
art is commercial and her spirit
sordid. And for her sins she might
well be left to tie buffetings of the
critics, were it not that she asks, and
receives, for her crude exhibition a
salary that, in her judgment and that
of her fellows, offsets the scourings of
justice. Many an actor of genius has
not accumulated at the end of a long
life Of toll and study the sum which
one of these pretty trifiers can COM
mand for six months season.
The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. order
of women is long since extinct. But
the scarlet geranium variety has also
the defects of her qualities. The
craze for conspicuousness, whose
effects are sham elegance, sham
culture, a pretense at air, is as mis-
chievous as less insidious forms Of
dry-rot in society. There is no CEN
sor for private theatricals, and they
must flourish in their rankness till
the good sense of mothers prunes and
trains them into wholesome growth.
But the public has right to resent
the appeal of incapacity, and bid
crudity go to school. And when it
buttons it's pockets against incapacity
and crudity, however beautiful and
lady-like, they will forthwith betake
themselves to that discipline, and do
the world favor. Harper's Bazaar.

FORTUNES FOR PRINTERS.
Flush Days for Followers of the
Art Freservativc i'm Colorado.

A Denver letter to the New York
Mail and Express gives some interest
ing "reminiscences of the old days i'm
that section, and the ups and downs
OF frontier life. There was great
rush for job printing and prices were
steep. They got $40 per 1000 for
cards, letter-heads. envelopes, and
so on, and as stock was scarce
and they wanted to accommo-
date everybody, they gave onl,
200 or 800 cards or letter-heads, as the
case might be, to the 1000. They
were soon taking in between $500 and
5000 day for job work, and in excit-
ing times they had to keep the press
running as late as II o'clock at night
to supply the demand for papers. An
amusing story is told by Colonel
Atkins, which illustrates the go-as-
you-please manner in which they
charged for work
One evening as the men were wash
ing up to go home stranger dropped
in and said he wanted u job of print
ing done, and he wanted it that night.
Colonel Atkins told him it would be
impossible to let him have it, but he
insisted that he must have it, and ex-
pressed willingness to pay literally.
He explained what he wanted-ten
cards, the size of playing cards,
nine with the numbers OH them
from one to nine, and then a
single one with 0 on it. The job was
taken, and they were to send the cards
and bill to Tom Kemp's saloon and
the gambling hall, where the stranger
would be waiting for them at 8 O'Clock.
They took a planer and a mallet and
printed the cards in five minutes.
Then Atkins, Burnell and Davis went
to supper.
"What'll we tax him for that job?"
Davis asked.
"How will $40 do?" inquired Bur
nell, "or would he tt ink it too much ?"
"Ten nothings!" said Atkins.
"Why, charge something for our
trouble-make out a bill for $22."
Davis and Burnell were afraid, but
the bill was made out, and Atkins
agreed to collect it. He went to Tom
Kemp's saloon at 8 O'Clock, and the
stranger was there.
"Have you got 'em ?" he asked,
coming close to Atkins and whisper
ing in his ear.
"Yes," was the whispered reply.
Where are they?'
Here"
A thin package changed hands and
the gambler put them into his pocket.
GLOW much? ?" he whispered.
twenty-five dollars"
The money was counted out and
Atkins receipted the bill and turned
to 60 when the stranger caught his arm
and said:
"Look yere, Cap'n; Pm thief
Pm gambler; that's the way make
my liven'; but say, amt this thing
leetle high?"
